5 Executive Summary Almost all of the funds appropriated to state agencies and institutions of higher education for the biennium are provided through Senate Bill 1, General Appropriations Act, 79th Legislature. This report summarizes the higher education portion of that act. Some highlights of the report: The higher education all funds appropriation, which includes general revenue and other local education and general funds, is $16.9 billion for the biennium, or approximately percent of the total state appropriation. The higher education appropriation was $1.677 billion more than was appropriated for higher education in the previous biennium, reflecting an percent increase. The general revenue appropriation for higher education for the biennium is $10.1 billion, which is approximately percent of the total state general revenue appropriations. The higher education appropriation is an 8.3 percent increase compared to the previous biennium. For general academic institutions, base period semester credit hours decreased by 1.4 percent, while general revenue appropriations rose 8.44 percent to $4.3 billion. Funding for multiple-doctorate universities accounted for 48.1 percent, or $2.8 billion, of general academic institution all funds appropriations. The public health-related institutions appropriations of $6.13 billion in all funds and $2.36 billion in general revenue represent increases of percent and percent, respectively. The public community and technical colleges appropriations of $1.9 billion in all funds and general revenue represent increases of percent for both categories. The Legislature trusteed $4.5 million for the biennium to the Coordinating Board to fund enrollment growth at two-year institutions. The Legislature also specified amounts for certain community colleges with new campuses: $2.7 million for Navarro College; $300,000 for Blinn College; $250,503 for Northeast Texas Community College; $293,664 for Frank Phillips College; and $216,500 for Cisco Junior College. The Advanced Research Program received $8.4 million for the biennium. The Advanced Technology Program was not funded for the biennium. iii

6 Funding for Tuition Equalization Grants, which supports Texas students attending independent institutions, was increased from approximately $141 million to approximately $211 million for the biennium. Funding for TEXAS Grants, which supports Texas students attending public institutions, was increased from approximately $324 million to approximately $371 million for the biennium. Higher Education Group Health Insurance appropriations for premiums increased $139.5 million, or 17.5 percent. iv

7 1. Introduction Senate Bill 1, the General Appropriations Act of the 79th Texas Legislature, accounts for almost all of the funds appropriated to state agencies and institutions of higher education. Additional adjustments are made in separate bills, and the Governor vetoed the $561,556 appropriation for the OAG Lawyers Loan Repayment Program. Article III of Senate Bill 1 appropriates funds for education, and this document summarizes the higher education portion of Article III. In a few cases, funds are appropriated to other agencies, but benefit higher education. For example, funds are appropriated to the State Comptroller and Teacher Retirement System for fringe benefits and retirement contributions. These funds are not included in institutional totals reported here. The state contribution to group insurance for higher education employees appropriated to the Employees Retirement System is included in this report and is allocated to each institution of higher education. Tobacco Settlement Receipts and related permanent endowment earnings appropriated for higher education in Senate Bill 1 remain constant from the previous biennium. Appropriations of earnings from endowments are included in this report and summarized in Section 8. The State-Owned Multi-Categorical Teaching Hospital Account was continued with a biennial appropriation of $20 million to the Texas Department of State Health Services. This reflects no change from the prior biennium. The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston is eligible to receive reimbursement from this fund for health care services for indigent patients not covered by any other third-party source. These funds are included in the total state appropriations on page 2 of this report. The largest portion of the Legislature s appropriation is general revenue revenue raised from the state sales tax, franchise taxes, the lottery, and numerous other sources. In addition, the Legislature appropriates to institutions revenue derived from tuition, overhead on grants, and other education and general sources. The sum of the general revenue appropriation and the other local educational and general revenue is called the all funds appropriation. Not all of the funds available to institutions of higher education are appropriated by the Legislature. Institutions also derive revenue from some fees that do not flow through the appropriation process and revenue from auxiliary enterprises such as intercollegiate athletics, bookstores, dormitories, research grants, and other activities. Only appropriated funds are reflected in this report. For public community and junior colleges, only state general revenue is reflected in this report. These colleges are not considered to be state agencies, so their other sources of revenue are outside the appropriation process. 1

8 2. Higher Education Funding as a Portion of Total State Funding The total State of Texas all funds appropriations for the biennium is $138.3 billion, an increase of $20.9 billion or percent over the appropriations for the biennium (See Table 1). The state general revenue appropriation totals $64.12 billion, an increase of $6.01 billion or percent over the appropriations for the biennium (see Table 2).

9 The all funds appropriation for agencies of education is $54.8 billion, representing percent of the total all funds appropriation. Of the $54.8 billion, $16.9 billion or percent is appropriated to higher education (see Chart 1 and Table 3). The higher education appropriation accounts for percent of the state s total all funds appropriation and percent of the state s total general revenue appropriation. These represent a decrease of 0.67 percent in the percentage of the all funds appropriation and a decrease of 0.17 in the percentage of the state s general revenue appropriation when compared to the biennium.

Texas has two funds that provide support for capital construction projects. The Permanent University Fund (PUF), an endowment outside the appropriations process, provides support for appropriated capital projects at some of The University of Texas System and Texas A&M University System Institutions. The Higher Education Assistance Fund (HEAF), which provides capital funding for universities and health institutions that do not participate in the PUF, was $175 million per year, unchanged from the previous biennium. 8

15 4. Appropriations for General Academic Institutions The general academic institutions appropriations of $5.8 billion in all funds and $4.3 billion in general revenue represent increases of 6.17 percent and 8.44 percent, respectively. Institutional appropriations may be found in Appendix A for all funds appropriations and in Appendix B for general revenue appropriations. Appropriations for the biennium, upon which the change was calculated, have been adjusted for Rider 56, Article III, HB1, 78th Texas Legislature. Rider 56 reduced appropriations in Article III by $19 million. This money was taken from all agencies and institutions equally, except that none was taken from health-related institutions. The base period that drove formula funding amounts for this report is Summer 2004 through Spring Some highlights of the changes in appropriations include: Total general revenue appropriations increased $333 million. Base period semester credit hours decreased by 1.4 percent, and fall headcount enrollment increased by 5.8 percent. Six institutions reported base period student credit hour enrollment decreases. Four institutions received partial hold harmless funds totaling $14.3 million for the biennium. Two institutions received over 90 percent of $14.3 million. A teaching experience supplement provides additional funding for undergraduate courses taught by tenured or tenure-track faculty. The supplement remained at 10 percent of formula funding for the biennium, at a total cost of $97 million for the biennium. Following a pattern established in 1999, the Legislature provided institutional enhancement special item funding for universities at a total cost of $371 million. Certain institutions also received appropriations for a new classification, faculty excellence, totaling $10 million for the biennium. A total of $49.5 million an increase of $0.5 million was appropriated for Texas Southern University and Prairie View A&M University as part of the Priority Plan for the improving those institutions through enhanced programs and systems and the recruitment, retention, and graduation of students.

Funding of $350 million was trusteed to the Coordinating Board to provide financial aid for students. Funding for the Advanced Research Program is $8.4 million for the biennium. The Texas Legislature approved an annual budget of $7,723,516 for Technology Workforce Development grants for the biennium. Half of these funds will come from the state to match donations made by industry and the federal government. The Coordinating Board provides trusteed funds to medical and graduate medical education programs as directed by the Legislature. Two programs the Statewide Preceptorship Program and the Joint Admission Medical Program support preparation and education efforts at the medical school or below level, while three programs the Family Practice Residency, the Primary Care Residency, and the Graduate Medical Education programs support the education and training of physicians at the graduate or post MD/DO level. Two new programs were funded by the Legislature for the biennium (Professional Nursing Shortage Reduction program received $6 Million and the Alzheimers Disease Centers received $2 Million), while funding for the Graduate Medical Education Program decreased by 5.26 percent to $3.6 million for the biennium. 21

28 8. Appropriations from Tobacco Settlement Receipts Receipts collected pursuant to the Comprehensive Tobacco Settlement Agreement and Release and earnings on permanent endowments created during the previous biennium were appropriated in Article III of the General Appropriations Act for direct expenditure at healthrelated institutions of higher education and for permanent endowments.

32 9. Appropriations for Special Items In Texas, the appropriations for core educational functions are provided through formulas. Other appropriations for special needs or opportunities are generally referred to as special items. The Special Items Report issued in prior years has been consolidated with this report. Special items appropriations for the biennium total $867.6 million, an increase of $153.0 million or percent over the previous biennium (see Appendix C). The 76th Texas Legislature created a special item-related strategy entitled Institutional Enhancement. This new strategy consolidated certain continuing special item appropriations requested by institutions. These include academic, research and general institutional support, student services, libraries, capital items, program development items, and scholarships. Additionally, the Legislature has made lump sum appropriations to certain sectors for use at their discretion. Both of these appropriations are referred to in this section as Institutional Support. These Institutional Enhancement appropriations totaled more than $459 million for the biennium, an increase of approximately $109 million from the previous biennium. Universities received approximately $371.3 million, the Texas State Technical College System received approximately $10.5 million, and the Lamar State Colleges received $7.8 million.

34 10. Appropriations for Tuition Revenue Bonds Tuition revenue bonds are used to fund new construction and rehabilitation of existing buildings. Individual institutions pledge tuition revenue for bond repayment. Historically, however, the Legislature has appropriated general revenue to institutions for this repayment. Although not classified as a special item in the General Appropriations Act, this debt may be issued by universities, health-related institutions, technical colleges, and the Lamar state colleges after they obtain legislative authority. The 78th Legislature authorized $204.4 million in new tuition revenue bonds and appropriated $13.6 million for related debt service during the biennium. The Legislature also appropriated $249.6 million for continued tuition revenue bond debt service for the biennium for bonds authorized in previous biennia. However, the 79th Legislature did not authorize any new tuition revenue bonds for the biennium. During the 79th Legislature, Third Called Session, Senate Committee substitute for HB153 authorized $1.86 billion in tuition revenue bonds, but no funds were appropriated. 28
